As a bike lover, I love this.

By admin in Uncategorized

Anything that’s bike-related gets my attention. This is one thing that stood out:

Ever see a sweet bike on the street and wish there was a way to tell that person how much you love their bike? Well I do, so I made these tags, perfect for hanging on the handle bars of all my [...]

Integrated is outdated.

By admin in Advertising, communication

I had an interesting talk at Likemind last Friday with some “Above” agency folk. They’re very interested in Digital. Mainly ’cause they heard that, because of the recession, more and more companies are shifting their communication budgets to “online”. So they either have to acquire digital know-how, or see their income shrink. From what I [...]

Not the hole or the drill.

By admin in Planning, communication

Just read an interesting interview with a doctor in some local rag. When asked what’s his main advice for a healthy life his answer was:
-Quit smoking and buy a dog.
The smoking thing’s obvious, but the reasoning behind the dog is the following: Once you have a dog, you need to take him for a walk [...]

Bad Movie Club

By admin in Uncategorized

This is an interesting phenomenon.
It’s started by @Glinner (who’s the writer of several TV shows, IT crowd among others) on Twitter, this is how he launched the idea:
Just had a great idea. Let’s do a bad film club on Twitter. We get a bad movie and watch it together at a set time. Fun!

Maybe I shouldn’t work in comms. after all.

By admin in Advertising, Internet, communication

The “Online and all other positions relative to the line.“-post, just got summed up in a few lines here (3rd comment) by Tim of Sugar:
In other words, DONT start a digital/interactive agency. Start an ideas company with 21st century behaviours at its core driving brand engagement across all channels, unified by digital audience behaviours. Mobiles, [...]

Chat Catcher.

By admin in Interactive advertising Tips, Internet, communication

To recap my extra-activity theory:
The same people who used to visit “interactive websites”, engaged, played around or created content in those sites, now have their own domain: their blog, their Facepage, their twitter… And they are more like to interact with the content on their domain, than on something they don’t own or control.
Now this [...]

Online & all other positions relative to the line.

By admin in Advertising

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately on where Belgian online and traditional agencies are going, should go, should have gone, who’s got the edge and why aren’t we wearing jetpacks yet.
I don’t have the answer, but it’s flattering people think I might.
I do have some thoughts on the subject.
1. Digital agencies are [...]

Frikandellen

By admin in Uncategorized

This afternoon on talk radio there was an item on the 50 year anniversary of the frikandel, or curryworst as it’s also known.
That being the fine piece of over-processed animal waste pictured above and a Belgian classic when it comes to fast food.

The Deer hunter

By admin in communication

I like this remixed poster of The Deer Hunter.
It’s made by Olly Moss who just graduated as a design student.

But what I like most is _the idea of_ remixing (they call it remixing, it’s just re-doing really) movie posters.
This is the original poster:

The difference between the original poster and the remixed poster is you can [...]

Random observations from London

By admin in Me, The best thing in life are free.

Spent three days in London with my better half. I was supposed to be there for business on Monday and since the £ is pretty low we decided to make it a weekend. We didn’t plan much, just hook up with old friends, walk around and indulge in epicurean pleasures.
I guess the umbrella theme [...]
